Ep4

"You three are fast learners, you can come work here tomorrow."

...

"Well that was quick, I expected it to be harder"

"Of course Ells, since I do most of the cleaning at home, without your help, I passed."

"Hey, I helped at the bakeshop. Ask the Old Man."

"Yeah, helped with trashing the place."

"Tsk, anyways, Lex you were good at cooking?"

"Yes, I live alone, so I know how to do most of the chores."

"That's cool, mostly girls are the ones doing the chores. I'm surprised."

"Is that a compliment?"

"Maybe...you can take that as a compliment"

"Uh huh, sure..."

"Right Trench, before I forget, how come you were so calm when you saw what Lex did. I didn't say a thing that time."

"Ah that....I've seen that scene a lot, It's expected."

"He's seen me tons of times killing people."

"Lex, don't be too proud -,-"

"Fine."

"Right, let's go enjoy our last day outside. We're probably never coming back until we retire."

"yeah..."

*At the bakeshop*

"Papa we're home."

"Welcome, how was the test?"

"What test?"

"The palace recruitment"

"Oh that, how'd you know about it Old Man?"

"There were posters of the three of you outside, didn't you see it?"

"Posters?"

"No, we were busy talking"

"HAHA congrats! They mentioned the top 3 in all the others, they said you guys were the best."

"Look Gramps, you're too informational, fluttery won't get us anywhere you know. Those were just rumors in the palace, we were just doing everything we can to pass."

"Woah Ells, how'd it change from Old Man to Gramps?"

"Is that bad? I'm sorry"

"HAHAHA no it's fine, it defines me well. I'm old enough to be called gramps anyway. Don't worry. Just take care tomorrow. Look after each other."

"Of course papa, we won't let you down."

"I will take care of your idiotic son Old Man, also Lex."

"Well that's good to hear."

"Let's celebrate today!"

...

"This was the best meal I've ever had my entire life."

"Oh really? Then I can cook it for you everyday Ells."

"REALLY?? I'd appreciate that Old Man."

"How about your son and his friend papa?"

"Forget about it, you can ask Ella if you want one."

"That's mean T^T right Lex?"

"I can cook Trench, don't drag me into your mess"

"Man, you're as mean as papa"

"HAHAHA are you a child Trench? You can just ask Lex to cook it for you."

...

I wonder how Dad is doing up there....he must've been the happiest if he were here. He's a silent person, although Trench and his mouth is the noisiest, he would love it here. If I could've had done something that time, he would have been saved. When he loves someone, he puts his all into it, that's why it hurts him so much after that...you know left. He was happy with her, but she's just using him for money...Mom...

*Next day*

"Oi wake up, we're going, pack up."

"Huh? What time is it?"

"7 in the morning. We're running late."

"And you're so calm?"

"Why? Is it bad?"

"Piss off, I was sleeping peacefully, you idiot."

"Pack up alright? We're heading out after breakfast."

"Right, right, now get out, before I throw something at you."

...

"Done?"

"Yeah *yawns*"

"You're still sleepy even after eating?"

"Got a problem with that?"

"Oh I wonder how your job will turn out..."

"Shut up. I need my beauty sleep to function."

"Oh? You're still the same to me...the old Ella with dirt on her face."

"Stop! Don't bring back the past. What stays there, should stay."

"Right, right.. Where's Lex"

"Here"

"Oh right on time"

"Let's go"

...

"Welcome, please allow me to guide you to your rooms."

"Thank you"

I've only seen dad do things like this, I'm not good with it T^T

...

"How many floors does this palace have? I'm exhausted. We've been walking for hours there"

"At least we're here already, stop whining Trench"

"It's a good thing we stay in the same room. We don't have to find a place where we'll meet."

"You're right Lex, but are you sure these doors and walls are soundproof?"

"Ells you talk we stay outside, if we can here you then it's proven, not soundproof at all."

"Wow, for once, you've used you're brain Trench."

"Tsk, remember I'm just following your order because you helped me last time."

"I'm not forcing you to stay, you can stop."

"N-no I'm st-staying"

"Ha, you're hopeless without me. Go out there"

...

"All clear, we can't hear a thing you're saying."

"That's a relief, no one will eavesdrop on us then. Then it's decided! We'll hold our meeting here."

...

"Please proceed to your workplaces now."

...

"*sigh* hope this will end well"

"Goodluck Ells" Both of them said.

"Thanks, you guys too."

...

*sighs* am I stuck here forever?......AHHH! Miguel! Where is he?? Ahh why did I just remember now? I hope he is fine\, wherever he is...

"Ella!"
